How Do I Gecode Data?

What?

Automatic geocoding of data in quad store.

Why?

Enable exploitation of SPARQL-GEO for geospatial oriented queries.

How?

To gecode data one should call the rdf_geo_fill API from Conductor or iSQL:
SQL> rdf_geo_fill ();

Done. -- 282 msec.

SPARQL-GEO sample queries

  • All Educational Institutions within 10km of Oxford, UK: 

    SELECT DISTINCT ?thing AS ?uri ?thingLabel AS ?name ?date AS ?established ?lat ?long WHERE
  {
    <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Oxford> geo:geometry ?sourcegeo .
    ?resource geo:geometry ?matchgeo .
    ?resource geo:lat ?lat .
    ?resource geo:long ?long .
    FILTER ( bif:st_intersects ( ?matchgeo, ?sourcegeo, 5 ) ) .
    ?thing ?somelink ?resource .
    ?thing <http://dbpedia.org/property/established> ?date .
    ?thing rdfs:label ?thingLabel .
    FILTER ( lang ( ?thingLabel ) = "en" )
  }

  • Things within close proximity of London: 

    SELECT DISTINCT ?resource ?label ?location WHERE
  {
    <http://dbpedia.org/resource/London> geo:geometry ?sourcegeo .
    ?resource geo:geometry ?location ; rdfs:label ?label .
    FILTER ( bif:st_intersects ( ?location, ?sourcegeo, 20 ) ) .
    FILTER ( lang ( ?label ) = "en" )
  }
